Summary
Vice Mayor Matt Zurcher presented the Light of PV award to Anne and Bob Wilson for decades of service running the county food bank; Bob, who died months earlier, was represented at the ceremony by his daughter Robbie.
Vice Mayor Matt Zurcher presented the Light of PV award to Anne and Bob Wilson, praising their decades of service at the county food bank and calling them "shining lights" in Prescott Valley.
"The Light of PV award honors individuals who brighten our community through leadership, service, and innovation," Zurcher said, describing the award's replica heliograph and its link to Glassford Hill history. He announced, "This year, our light of PV award goes to Anne and Bob Wilson of the Yavai County Food Bank," adding that Bob passed away a few months ago and was represented at the ceremony by his daughter Robbie.
Zurcher said the Wilsons have led the county's largest food bank since 1992, "distributing tons of food to thousands of families and individuals," and noted the food bank receives no government funding. He credited the couple with coordinating a range of local relief efforts, including providing backpacks and school supplies, working with the Chambers Flying High Turkey Drive and Living Faith Church to provide thousands of Thanksgiving meals, and personally distributing coats, blankets and toys during the winter months.
"They have done more than just turn and run an organization," Zurcher said, adding the Wilsons "have fostered connection and lifted others through action." The ceremony closed with Zurcher asking the audience to join him in a round of applause for the winners.
The transcript uses two different names for the county food bank (appearing as "Yavai County Food Bank" and later as "Fayette County Food Bank"); the record does not provide a single authoritative organization name. The Wilsons were identified in the transcript as Anne and Bob; the presentation states Bob was represented at the event by his daughter Robbie.
